After he was asked about Corker and Flake’s stunning double-team rebuke of the president from Tuesday, Rand reached into the magazine pile at his Ophthalmology office and came up with this dismissive rebuttal:

I’m not here to criticize any of them really for what they thinkis the best way but I thinkactually that it would be better ifwe concentrate on policy becauseI think people at home wouldlike a tax cut.People at home would like tokeep American jobs here and tryto lower corporate taxes so thosecompanies don’t go overseas.I think to the American people,that is more important than allthe personalities.This is more of like a People Magazine saga.And it really ought to be more about policyand what is the best way to leadthe country.

While there has been a variety of reactions from the right, it would be surprising if Rand’s dismissive take didn’t catch on more with Trump and Trump’s supporters in the media. Though, given the absurdity of recent political news, it might be more accurate to compare current events to a Mad Magazine saga.
